...also met Heywood Broun, a columnist for the World, a Harvard graduate who attacked former President Lowell for encouraging the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. O'Hara agreed with Broun's views and began writing for his newspaper...
Many evangelical groups are free from scrutiny. In the monthly Eternity, Columnist Joseph Bayly complains that while worthy causes pinch pennies, cash flows freely to high-living evangelists subject only to boards led by relatives and retainers. To allay doubts, nondenominational ministries in 1979 created the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (E.C.F.A.) to fix fund-raising standards.

Another obstacle to non-driving, totally unrelated to automotive proficiency, is check cashing. How can someone prove he is a person if he does not have a driver's license? Columnist Art Buchwald, who at one time gave up driving, has not forgotten his tribulations at supermarkets in Washington: "They first stamp the back of the check with a little line for your height, weight, color of eyes, everything, walk across the store to okay it-and then refuse to accept it unless you produce a driver's license...
